The home's curb appeal and mature landscaping set the tone. Inside, hardwood floors, new Pella windows, and sun-filled spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The main level features a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a separate formal dining room, a renovated kitchen with modern finishes, an enclosed sunroom ideal for year-round enjoyment, and a convenient powder room.
